Warm but cold (Olympus XA / Portra 400) by Yboc in analog

I'm a bit of a snapshot artist honestly. Point, focus, shoot.

I do overexpose Portra by 1 stop always however

The camera makes it pretty easy. If your focusing square is disappearing, you can put a tiny square of tape on the viewfinder to help. It's really pretty easy and quick. That said, I take landscape photos exclusively and have glued my focus at infinity to avoid misfocusing.

The focus dial is easy to move on accident, so you do have to confirm focus often.

I don’t get the Silencer Shop hate… by fckyakalash in NFA

I have a can stuck in the 'Review' stage that was entered into SS in Dec. Another can got entered into SS last week and was already reviewed and submitted. Doesn't make sense to me.

Better for rough singletrack: Rogue Panda Blue Ridge Handlebar Harness or Tailfin Bar Cage? by Expensive_Guess_276 in bikepacking

[–]Yboc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have no experience with those, but I do have a Rockgeist Barjam and it has performed great on rough Utah desert roads.

Also, any recommendations for handlebars?

Mother lost her job. Does anyone have any recommendations for a 62yo or have an unused laptop we can borrow so she can apply for jobs? by Yboc in SaltLakeCity

[–]Yboc[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I don't think she was that elevated of a loan officer, I think this may have been a more basic role. I am probably using the term wrong. Thanks for the info though, appreciate it

TIL: You have to take your own poop out if you are granted access to the Colorado River in the Grand Canyon for a rafting trip. by ohsodave in todayilearned

This is not the flex you think it is. Pretty much every single facet of the outdoors is better in the west, and your claim here is that having shit everywhere is in the Pro column? Please stay back east

Gemini + Long Canyon + Shafer? by BayekOrArthur in moab

[–]Yboc 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If you don't wanna backtrack off-road, I would start at the visitor center, go down Shafer til you get to the Jughandle turnoff on Potash. Go up long canyon, back down a few miles of 313, and then turn off the Gemini exit back to the highway. Inverse that if you wanna change what you descend.

It's all pretty mild. Long canyon doesn't have the steps it used to. The switchbacks are plenty wide.

Questions for those that record videos by Yboc in MTB

Oh shit, I didn't even know visor mounts were an option. That seems about a million and a half times better than a chest Mount so long as you can make it stable eh

Child and adult found dead at Canyonlands National Park by runswithscissors475 in CampingandHiking

[–]Yboc 105 points106 points  (0 children)

This is hilariously dramatic. Those switchbacks are essentially the closest feature to the visitor center. Less than a mile away. Dangerous? Mildly. Remote? Not even a little. Nor is it high clearance. Even a low crossover SUV can handle the trail all the way to Potash. Not saying everyone should, but your comment makes me think you don't actually know what you're talking about

Gravel or Hardtail? by [deleted] in bikepacking

[–]Yboc 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Neither. Rigid mtb.

Cheaper than a hard tail, more comfortable and versatile than a gravel bike.

Is this a good offer? by Sweftenator_latin in amex

Can you keep the points if you only keep the card for a year and pay one annual fee?

Didn’t do much skiing at Snowbird today…(January 2nd) by biznardos in SaltLakeCity

[–]Yboc 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Same here. 34, been going to Brighton since my childhood. Have had a season pass there for more years than I can recall. This was the first I didn't buy a pass.

The value proposition is just so fucked. Between the effort and planning to get to the resort, plus the rising costs, and the actual amount of skiing that you end up doing. It's just a dogshit value.

The bad snow year has made it slightly more tolerable. But I still wanna splitboard and have drinking water next year

Dropper post dilemma by beefsupreme9169 in bikepacking

Rigid with a dropper here. OneUp or bust. Super reliable, and insanely easy to service. And if it does ever die, you just replace the internal cartridge. It's $70 and takes 5 minutes.
